All-Story Magazine (UK)

The magazine was launched into what was becoming an increasingly crowded market for women’s magazines. Its unique selling point was that it was designed to be syndicated as an accompaniment to local newspapers, with the magazine retitled accordingly, as with The Evesham Monthly Magazine, on sale with The Evesham Journal.[b]Then known as The Evesham Journal and Four Shires Advertiser.[3] To make such syndication easier, the contents page was simply titled “Our Magazine”.[2]
